This past weekend we went to Annecy, France for Kevin's first half marathon. He ran it with four of our friends, and they all killed it! I was so incredibly proud of everyone especially Kev. Just picturing him running to the finish line is getting me all teary eyed (must be the pregnancy hormones -- I am due in 2 weeks after all). Seriously though, it was such an extraordinary achievement not only because, duh, it's a 21 kilometer race, but also because it so beautifully illustrates his determination and strength in his recovery. To think that 5 months ago he was retraining his brain how to stand, and now he's running half marathons. Pretty amazing if you ask me. He finished in 1 hour 52min and I couldn't be prouder.

And with that I am FINALLY caught up with all the blog posts. Yay! Now Baby girl can be born anytime. We ready to meet her. Don't worry Heather, I promise this blog won't turn into a boring baby blog. It'll still be about our travels, but with a new addition in the pics. In fact we already have baby's first flight booked for our friends' wedding in Vienna. If she's born on time she'll be 5 weeks old. Are we crazy? We shall find out.
